Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Mast Camera (Mastcam)

The Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Mast Camera (Mastcam) system will obtain color, multispectral color, stereo, and high definition video views of the terrain explored by MSL. At the left is the Mastcam 34 mm fixed focal length camera head; at the right is the Mastcam 100 mm fixed focal length camera head. In 2010, MSSS also developed a pair of Mastcams with zoom lens capabilities, but NASA halted work on these cameras in March 2011.
